Metastases account for the great majority of cancer-associated deaths. Metastasis formation consists in several steps from the invasion of the tissue surrounding the primary tumor, intravasation in the bloodstream where they survive as circulating tumor cells (CTCs), to extravasation and colonization of distant organs in order to form malignant lesions. The escape of individual cells from the primary tumor is at the initiation of this process. Nonetheless, recent advances have shown the invasion and migration of cellular groups in the metastasis formation cascade. Clusters of CTC has been identified in the blood of patients in many cancers and they have shown to have a higher metastatic potential than single CTC. Moreover, their presence in...
